Photographer Rowan Metzner returned home to New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina swept through leaving a black and white deserted world in its wake. "In a matter of days the city was washed away; the cords that had grounded me were ripped loose leaving me isolated and lost in what seemed to be a permanent state of “hallucinated lucidity.” I photographed what I saw as a way for me to process the complete randomness of the disaster."
Rowan Metzner received her BFA in photography and began work as project manager for a book about the effects of Katrina on photographers as well as pursuing her own art projects. Her work has been collected by the Smithsonian Institution National Museum of American History in Washington, D.C.. |
